UNLISTED OBVERSE LEGEND. Specimen similar to ALEXANDRIA 20 except for shorter obv. legend: IMP C DOMITIVS... instead of IMP C L DOMITIVS... (p. 662). Attested for different rev. dies, so an engraver's error is rather improbable. See also CORRIGENDA, VOL. VI, p. 663-664. Listed in Northern Sinai Hoard (p. 109, no. 4153). Should be listed in RICafter ALEXANDRIA 20.
